Does anyone have an code example on how to do re-directs in axios? I'm new to axios.

Redirects will be followed automatically. This is the native behavior for XMLHttpRequest in the browser, and with this PR it is enabled for node.

If you mean how to issue a redirect on the server send a 300-308 status code with a Location header to indicate where redirection should go.

Hey Mzabriskie, that's a perfect answer for me. The issue I was having was related to CORS which does not allow redirects, but I solved that using proxy.

Hi,
I really like Axios, but unfortunately with the follow-redirects replacement for http/https there is no way to actually NOT follow redirect.
I looked at follow-redirects, they have an option called maxRedirects that is a Integer that defaults to 5.
Unfortunately I tried to make my fork of Axios to pass that option to follow-redirects but they don't actually support doing no redirections. I know it's a bit awkward they would, given the purpose of their module but if they claim to be a drop-in replacement for http/https then Axios could possibly take this maxRedirects option. If value is 0 then use the core http/https modules rather than follow-redirects.
Does this sound reasonable?
Or if there is a simpler way to have Axios not follow a redirect please let me know!
Thanks!

Any resolution to this?

Any updates? Still follows redirects even with "maxRedirects=0"
